Yesterday, a professionally well-dressed businessman from Mount. Druitt who travel to the city by train had expressed to me his dissatisfaction that most trains he catches are not air-conditioned trains - with the ones he catches. to him it is a bit of a nuisance.
In winter the carriage is cold and is summer the carriage is hot, with no ventilation, only windows open to feel the heat and close the windows to keep out more cold in winter.
My comments: this seems to be a continual issue that come up with individuals - comfort on public transport. We feel that this is an important issue that needs to be addressed and will hopefully improved change sin the near future!

I have been advised by a colleague from the Sydney Electric Train Society that CityRail will commence the withdrawal next month of the non-air conditioned trains sets (S, R and L sets). There are now six 8-car Waratahs in service (Sets A3 to A8) with Set A9 having recently arrived from Cardiff via Shanghai and undergoing testing in Auburn. Sets A1 and A2 with 4-car set A79 are used for testing.
There are already no 6 car R sets in service. They have already been withdrawn. The remaining non air conditioned sets run as either 4 car or 8 car S sets with the 3 car L sets on the Olympic Park and Port Kembla lines.
Once more Waratahs enter service, a corresponding number of non air conditioned trains will be withdrawn with the entire project completed by 2014-2015.
